Cyberview Sdn Bhd today celebrated 10 high-potential startups at the culmination of the Cyberview Living Lab Accelerator (CLLA) Cohort 21 Demo Day at RekaScape.

The presentation format at Demo Day stipulated that each participant was given 5 minutes to present their ideas, followed by 5 minutes for Q&A and 2 minutes specifically for Expression of Interest (EOI). To make the event more exciting, a total prize pool of RM8,000 was provided with RM5,000 determined by the jury while RM3,000 was voted on by the audience. The evaluation covers aspects of innovation, feasibility, market potential, implementation effectiveness and impact brought by each startup.
